The Love of the Former

DCSM chapter 67

I took two weeks off. And today it's time for me to restart my activities and leave my husband for a while. There's been a division of time, of course I'll never let my own husband. It is still very dangerous and I have to anticipate all the bad possibilities even the worst.

There was no movement from Diyah's side, not that they gave up. Waiting until my husband is healthy may be their goal. Andri and several friends take turns to accompany Valdi.

"I go to work first. Breakfast is ready, medicine too, do not forget to drink later. Rest and don't go out too much."

Some days my husband has started walking in the yard, although still in a limp.

"Yes, don't think too much of me. Focus on working yank, there's Dody accompanying me here."

I smiled, my husband's face was no longer pale. I was a little calm to leave him.

"Ar, can I see you?"

A message I received an hour ago. Because I was a little busy I was just able to open it. The financial statements I left for two weeks left me unable to move from the second floor of the store. Even to see the store's operational I don't have time.

"I'm not home, Mom. I work in the city with my husband. I'm sorry I may not be able to see you because I haven't been able to go back to the village."

I really want to meet Mas Pri in person. Want to apologize and speak from heart to heart for the last time about us. But now it feels impossible, my husband's situation can not be ignored just for the sake of being able to talk to mas Pri. To go back to taking time off will be difficult.

"I'm on Imam Bonjol street. Whenever you have free time call me. I've been in this town for a week. I hope you have time to meet."

"Yes, it was only two hours ago that I got here."

"Well, I'll let my husband go first. And if there's any time soon I'll call you later."

I smiled at all the problems I wanted to finish soon. To live the day without much burden of the mind that runs too deep.

I looked at the clock hanging on the wall, there was still two hours left until I came home. I took a slow breath, the sales reports from the two branch stores I haven't even touched at all.

"At least I have to clear the store report for at least two days yesterday. Not so good later. Only tomorrow can you install the report on the branch store."

I who have two responsibilities here must be able to divide the time. But for a while, for at least the next three days I was still on the second floor and left my position as a cashier.

Until the time shows at two o'clock in the afternoon then I go down to lunch and wait for the clock to come home.

"Your husband how's he doing, Ar. Already better?" Questions I got this morning. I just answer for what it is.

Until the time to come home. A contract not so far away made me just walk to take it. Two plastic bags are in my hands now. Some bread and three packs of rice were there.

I smiled as I entered the contract, seeing my husband talking to Dody. After cleaning up and changing clothes, I joined. Together eating rice padang accompanied by janda.
